Through-The-Wall Heat Recovery Unit

The Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save is a ventilation unit designed for living rooms and bedrooms in single and multi-family buildings. The unit is usually located in an exterior wall to provide new air to the room.

The Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save uses a reversible fan to extract dirty air from the room and replace it with outside air 70 seconds later. This air passes through a filter to ensure that clean air enters the room. These systems work best in pairs as when one unit is extracting, the other can be supplying air to provide a balanced ventilation system. They are controlled by a SENWZP Sentinel wired zone controller which can operate up to 8 units in synchronization. This provides a single room or whole house balanced ventilation system with heat recovery.

As well as filtering the air, the Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save uses a thermal accumulator to extract warmth from the outgoing air and uses it to temper the incoming air to avoid the feeling of cold drafts and recover heat that would otherwise be lost to the outside.

Models

Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save

Decentralised ventilation system with up to 84% heat recovery. Compact design for apartments or houses with 180mm diameter, ideal for refurbishment. Includes reversible fan with a thermal accumulator, external wall grille, wall sleeve, dust filter. Requires 1x SENWZP (496037) wired zone controller per installation of 8 units.

Stock Ref 496036

Typical Installation

The Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save can be fitted in a 180mm diameter hole. Maximum wall thickness is 460mm or 745mm with optional wall tube (see accessories). The wall sleeve length (included up to 460mm) can be cut down to size to fit any wall thickness.

Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Heat Save units work best in pairs. When one unit is extracting, the other can be supplying air to provide a balanced ventilation system. They alternate direction every 70 seconds when the thermal accumulator on the extract unit has warmed up allowing the supply air to benefit from these thermal gains. They are controlled by a SENWZP Sentinel wired zone controller. This is fully modular and controllable with customised ventilation profiles available so that every room in the home can have the perfect ventilation.

Through-The-Wall Heat Recovery Unit

The Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Tempra is designed to fit in 100mm diameter hole and is suitable for refurbished properties in kitchen, bathroom, toilet or utility rooms. The unit meets the performance requirements for continuous extract fans under the current Building Regulations Approved Document F.

The Tempra is available in three models, a P version with pullcord control, a T version with overrun timer and an HTP version with built-in pullcord, overrun timer and humidistat. Two spigot lengths are available; 320mm and 460mm.

The manual summer setting allows the unit to be set to extract only, helping to prevent a dwelling becoming too warm in hot summer conditions.

Performance

Tempra can be set to run continuously at 6 l/s or 9 l/s, boosting up to 15 l/s, recovering heat from extracted air and returning it to the dwelling. The unique, compact heat exchanger has a temperature efficiency up to 78%, saving energy and reducing your carbon footprint. For intermittent extract the Tempra is set to 15 l/s.

The Tempra is also designed so that the replacement air being introduced is at a reduced rate ensuring that the room being ventilated is still under a slight negative pressure. This ensures that fresh air is bought into the room from the rest of the house preventing humid air migrating.

The Lo-Carbon EC/DC motor with twin impellers consumes as little as 3.2 Watts on trickle rate and runs almost silently at only 20dB(A).

Typical Installation

The unique heat exchanger design allows the Tempra to be fitted in a 100mm diameter hole, allowing it to replace standard 100mm extract fans while giving all the benefits of heat recovery. Maximum wall thickness is 460mm.

A longer version of the Tempra is available, designed for installations where the wall thickness is between 321mm and 460mm. 460mm models are identified by an ‘L’.

Long Life Ventilation

The Lo-Carbon Solo Plus range from Vent-Axia has been specially designed for through the wall and ducted applications, suitable for internal bathrooms, toilets and other small rooms. Finished in white, the Lo-Carbon Solo Plus can be flush or surface mounted, with a 2 position 100mm circular spigot for rear entry or connecting to a vertical ducting system. The powerful centrifugal impeller allows installations using 100mm ducting in straight runs, whilst still achieving 15l/s as required by Building Regulations Approved Document F.

Continuous running products, such as the Lo-Carbon Solo Plus, installed in all wet areas of a dwelling are classed as a wholehouse ventilation system and therefore only need to move the amount of air as outlined in table 5.1a and 5.1b of Building Regulations Approved Document F.

The Lo-Carbon Solo Plus has an adjustable boost speed which is set at installation variable between a wall or duct setting for boost/override operation to meet Building Regulations thus ensuring minimum energy usage and low sound levels. All models have an optional speed for constant trickle ventilation (12l/s), selectable at installation. Depending on the model, the fan will switch from trickle (if selected) to boost via the pullcord/light switch/humidity sensor/PIR.

All models can be wall, panel or ceiling mounted and can be connected to either circular, rectangular or Vent-Axia’s flat ducting. Enclosure of the electrical components is manufactured from flame retardant grade material.

Safety Extra Low Voltage Fan (SELV)

Designed for areas where a fan has to be fitted over or within Zone 1 in a room containing a fixed bath or shower according to IEE wiring regulations (BS 7671), the Lo-Carbon Solo Plus SELV fan can be safely installed within the spray area. The fan is rated IPX7. Control is by the supplied mains safety isolating transformer unit with 12V DC SELV output, which is sited away from any source of spray and out of reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower. Controller Supply voltage 220-240V/1/50Hz. Output to fan SELV 12V DC.
